An Interview with the co-author of STOP. RIGHT. NOW.

This is an amazing interview on many levels, but I love our discussion on coaching teachers and educational leaders. You are going to love it, as Jeff is brilliant.

Zoul has taught graduate courses at the university level in the areas of assessment, research, and program evaluation. He is the author/co-author of many books, including: What Connected Educators Do Differently,​ ​Start. Right. Now. – Teach and Lead for Excellence,​ ​Improving Your School One Week at a Time​, and ​Leading Professional Learning: Tools to Connect and Empower Teachers​. Jeff has earned several degrees, including his undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts and his doctoral degree from the University of Alabama.
